My 4 year old boy celebrated his (hebrew) birthday in school 2 weeks ago with a nice big cake for him and his classmates. He had such a great time he couldn’t stop talking about it for the next few days.
This past Shabbos, in the middle of the shabbos seudah, it occured to me that it was his english birthday. I announced,”Hey everybody, today is October 27, it’s Shloime’s english birthday!”
My son’s bright eyes opened wide at the news of his birthday, and he excitedly asked, “So now I’m 5??”
